I just updated to the latest version of apt and synaptic and now synaptic doesn't update/install anything. It goes through the motions but at the end of the process nothing is updated or installed. I'm using Suse 9.0. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks, Jerome

I have a similar problem. Using apt-get, I can see that there are signature problem. I posted a question on this mailing list. Ricard Bos suggested me to use "apt --no-checksig install xxx" where xxx is the package to be installed and that works fine. But it of course not nice that synaptic does not work anymore
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, This hint is from Richard Boss: If you want not to check gpg signatures any more by default, edit the script '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf' and set 'RPM::Gpg-Check no'. it worked for me and I now can use synaptic.

Try this, It's caused by a plugin script that checks the rpm integrity. Indeed introduced with the latest apt rpm update. But man apt tells you: --no-checksig Do not check the integrity of the packages to be installed. It can be used if the integrity check fails for 1 or more packages, but the packages have been obtained from a save origin. Configuration item: RPM::GPG-Check. The Configuration item RPM::GPG-Check can be set to false in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf (make true -> false) if you don't want to check the rpm integrity. The plugin scripts are located at: /usr/lib/apt/scripts/ With thanks to Richard Bos Suc6 Gerrit Jan

I thought it synaptic was broken, it isn't. The latest version doesn't tell you what the problem is. I reinstalled synaptic-0.47-rb2 and found out there is a signature problem. I don't understand why they changed synaptic-0.48-rb2 so that it doesn't report problems. This newest version is less useful than the previous one. Can anyone clarify why packages aren't aren't allways signed? Is it a security risk to load packages without a proper signature? Can I use synaptic with the --no-checksig option? Thanks, Jerome

Is it a security risk to load packages without a proper signature? Yes and no. You did it all the time before, without questioning. With signature you know for sure that pkg comes from the pkgs that signed the pkg. However, he may still have a troyened system, that could damage yours....

Try, but I don't think so.... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Did you try this, it works for me; The Configuration item RPM::GPG-Check can be set to false in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf (make true -> false) if you don't want to check the rpm integrity. The plugin scripts are located at: /usr/lib/apt/scripts/ Suc6 GJ

Thank you for your help above. Someone else told me how to solve the --no-checksig option problem in synaptic. Thank you again, Jerome
